Audiotent – Quest Standard: £17 Deluxe: £27

Greetings, weary traveller. Your quest to find the holy grail of twisted techno riffs is finally over. Behold! This library of 107 unique, and mildly bonkers melodies, has been expertly hand-slung from a sizeable range of hardware synths, and run through some precise processing chains for maximum weight and clarity, just for you.

Things rise and fall, pulses quicken. Each sequence draws inspiration from far and wide – lo-fi grooves hum in the distance, vintage tones offer flashback vibes. Plinky plonk parps hint at the weird and wonderful, before dusted, dented synth scales offer escape routes through the clouds. The Deluxe Edition has all the MIDI you’ll need, too. It’s quite the trip, but you like adventure… Roy Spencer audiotent.com
